When you're planning your
vacation along the
Oregon Coast, don't miss Sandlake Dunes! It's along the Three Capes
Scenic Route just
6 miles or 12 minutes north of Pacific City. You can rent a quad
or a mini dune buggy from us and explore the Sandlake
Dunes at your own pace. Enjoy a morning cruise along the trees or pose
for an afternoon picture along the breathtaking beach. We're family friendly
too! Our smallest quads have remotes and leashes to help parents keep
a safe pace. Family fun for everyone.
Our
ATV and Buggy Rentals:
We are just down the road from the Sandlake Dunes and have quads and mini
buggys to take to with you to the riding area. We provide the use of a
trailer, helmets and goggles.
Dunes:
Sandlake Dunes Recreation Area includes 1076 acres of the Siuslaw National
Forest. The riding dunes and beach are between Cape Lookout (north) and
Sandlake Estuary (south). The Pacific Ocean is the beach-riding boundary
(west). Galloway Road and the Three Capes Scenic Route Road are borders
to the east.
Photo
opportunities:
The views are spectacular from the beach and way up high between the first
and second bowls. That's where you can see Cape Lookout, Cape Kiawanda
and Haystack Rock, all along the Pacific Ocean. The sunsets from these
views are marvelous. There is also a beautiful shoe tree that many riders
have contributed to. Swooping trails, donut trees, washboards and mogals.
There are wonderfully crafted sandrails that visit the dunes now and then.
Many sandlake duners are climbing or jumping the dune crests, which would
be some cool photos. Look for pelicans and seagulls, standing together
in the shallow surf, fishing. Untouched Dunes are across the East end
of the riding park with the forest and mountains expanding beyond.
Nearby
Towns:
Pacific City and Tillamook are the nearest large towns. Sandlake has a
quaint little store and gas station.

There are many camping accomodations and RV parks within a few minutes
drive of the dunes. Thousand Trails is situated within a very beautiful
strip of old growth forest along the Tierra Del Mar beach. Cape Kiwanda
RV Park and Resort is next to to the scenic Haystack Rock and Cape Kiwanda.
They're the campground with all those bunnys. Tomichi Village RV Park
